LudendorffandLoyola.ot DoestheEndJustifytheMeans?

Itisastrangeandasadfactthat theverynameorthoughtofJesuits seemstoparalysethejudgmentand destroythesenseoffair-playineven well-educatedandwell-meaningProtestants.

BishopRyle--The"Rock."

Thus,forinstance,twenty-oneyears agoDr.Ryle,thenProtestantBishop ofLiverpool,wrotetoacorrespond. ent:"Inotecarefullywhatyousay aboutfiftyclergymenintheChurch ofEnglandbeingJesuits,anditentirelyconfirmsmyownbelief."AProtestantclergyman,oneoftheProctors oftheConvocationofYork,wroteto askCardinalVaughanifthisstatementwerecorrect.Inhisletter,dated23rd.August,1898,theCardinalrepliedthatitwasabsolutelyuntrueto saythatanyChurchofEnglandclergymancouldbeaJesuitorremaininthe ChurchofEnglandbyvirtueofany dispensationfromRome.

Fouryearslater,in1902,theProtestantAlliancemadeastrongeffortto bringaboutthelegalexpulsionfrom EnglandofFatherSidneySmith, FatherHerbertThurston,andFather JohnGerard,thebrotherofGeneral SirMontaguGerard,ontheground thattheywereJesuitpriests.The MetropolitanPoliceMagistrate,Mr. Kennedy,refusedtograntanysummonsagainstthem,andwhentheAllianceappealedtotheKing'sBench theLordChiefJustice,Mr.justice Darling,andMr.JusticeChannel,on the28th.April,1902,decidedthatthe magistratewasperfectlyjustifiedin usinghisdiscretionandrefusingto grantthesummons. Afewweeks later,Mr.JusticeWillsandaspecial juryheardalibelcasebroughtby FatherBernardVaughanagainstthe Protestantnewspaper,theRock,for sayingthathewasoneofthe"Jesuit outlaws,steepedinsedition,theinfamoussonsofLoyola,"whocouldnotbe legallylibelled.Unfortunatelyforthe Rock,thejurydisagreedwiththisview, andreturnedaverdictinfavourofthe infamoussonofLoyola,whohadpointedoutinhisevidencethattheseditious Jesuitshadsentouttofightinthe BoerWar100studentsfromthecollegeatBeaumont,and100morefrom Stonyhurst,andthatthreeofthese latterhadwontheVictoriaCross.

TheEndandtheMeans.

Andnow,afterseventeenyears,it comesasakindofashocktofindasoldierofprovedcourageandofhighintellectualability,beginningwithout rhymeorreasontheoldstone-throwing attheJesuitsagain.Recentlythere appearedintheLondonDailyNews, andinothernewspapers,anarticleby Major-GeneralSirF.Maurice,entitled "LudendorffonhisDefence,"inwhich occurthefollowingwords:"Longbe-

Thechargeisgenerallymadeby anti-Jesuits,notagainstLoyolahimself,butagainstaGermanJesuit, FatherHermannBusembaum,who wrotehistheologyaboutahundred yearsafterthedeathofSt.Ignatius Loyola.Busembaumconsidersacase likethatofourownpoorstarving soldier-prisonersinGermanyduringthe latewar.Ifoneofthemseesachance ofescapingbybreakingopenadooror window,orevenbyputtingasleeping draughtinthebeeroftheGermansentries,mayhedoso?Yes,saysBusembaum,hisendislawful,hehasaright toregainhisfreedom,andheisjustifiedinusingthenecessarymeans.But, saysBusembaum,ifthemeanswere inthemselveswrongandsinful,"Itis notlawfultodoanythingwhichis wronginitselfeventoescapedeath."

Again,towardstheendof1903,an AmericanProfessoratSyracuseUniversitymadethissamechargebefore hispupils.TheCatholicBishopof Syracuserepliedwiththischallenge: "IshallpaytoanystudentoftheUniversitytheexpensesofhisboardand tuitionduringtheremainingyearsof hisstudiesthere,ifhecanfindinany ofthewritingsorteachingsofthe Jesuits,orfromanyauthenticsource whatever,thattheyevertaughtthe thedoctrinethattheendjustifiesthe means."Uptothepresentdate,as farasIknow,theBishop'schallenge hasnotbeenaccepted.

Iwouldconcludethisstatementwith twoProtestanttributestothework oftheJesuits.Thefirstisthatof thepresentArchbishopofCanterbury, Dr.RandallDavidson,who,inhiscentenarysermon,preachedin1904in theProtestantCathedralofQuebec, "madeglowingreferencestotheFrench JesuitandRecollectmissionarieswho firstpreachedChristianityinNew France,undismayedbysufferingand martyrdom."

Celebrateshis84thBirthdayTo-day.

The1st.November,theFeastofAll Saints,isthe84th.anniversaryofthe birthofhisLordshipBishopGibney, formerlyBishopofPerth.Suchan occasionwecannotletpasswithout sayingsomethingofhiscareerherein WesternAustraliaduringthepast56 years.Hewasbornin1835inthe parishofKilleshandra,CountyCavan, Ireland.HeenteredAllHallowsEcclesiasticalCollegein1857,andstudied forthepriesthood.Itwasduringthe finalyearofhisstudiesthathedecidedonfar-offWesternAustraliaasthe homeofhismissionarylabours.His ordinationtookplaceatAllHallows CollegeonJune14th,1863.Two monthslaterheboardedthesailing shipTartar,andsailedforFremantle.

ThecharacterofthepriestFather MatthewGibneywassooninevidence, forheendearedhimselftoalland greatlyassistedinthegeneralcomfort ofthepassengersandcrew.Inreportitigonthematterhestated:"I travelledtoW.A.byanimmigrant ship-theTartar.Thevoyagetook fourmonths.Onboardthevessel,on theFeastofAllSaints,Ireceived13 oftheimmigrantsintotheChurch.I arrivedatFremantleonDecember12, 1863." Whatmorefittingcommencementcouldtherebeforayoung missionarypriest!

In1863theDioceseofPerthwas under-thechargeoftheVeryRev. FatherMartinGriver,asAdministrator. Thediocesethentookinthewholeof W.A.In1863therewerechurchesinonlynineplacesandconvents inthree.Verymuchofthelong travellingandpioneeringworkfellto thelotofFatherGibney.

Boys'andGirls'OrphanagesFounded. Thehistoryofthefoundingofthe Girls'Orphanage,in1868,isasplendid exampleofthezealofFatherGibney. Calledtothebedsideofayounggirl whohadbeenaninmateoftheGovernmentWorkhouse,andwhowasbeingtendedbyGovernmentofficials, FatherGibneypromisedthedying childthathewouldnotallowCatholic childrentoberearedintheworkhouse. Truetothepromisegiven,FatherGibney,withthefullsanctionoftheDiocesanAdministrator,approachedGovernorHampton,andobtainedpermissiontohavetheCatholicgirlsplacedunderCatholiccontrol.The amountallowedfortheirsupportwas thesameasitcosttheGovernmentto maintainthechildrenintheWorkhouse.FatherGibneyhadthegirls removedtoSubiaco,andplacedunder thechargeofthegoodSistersof Mercy,andtheinstitutionwascalled St.Joseph'sOrphanage.Thereafter FatherGibneywasofficiallyrecognisedasthemanageroftheorphanage.

In1870theVeryRev.FatherMartin GriverwasconsecratedBishopof Perth,andhe,immediatelyonhisreturntoWestAustralia,appointed FatherMatthewGibneyashisVicarGeneral.Continuinghisgoodwork, FatherGibneyhadtheCatholicorphanboysplacedundertheSistersof Mercy,Subiaco,andobtainedthesame assistanceaswasgivenforthegirls. LatertheboyswereremovedandplacedunderthecareoftheChristian Brothers,andtheorphanagewas knownasClontarf.

North-WestVisitedin1878. Priorto1878,theNorth-Westof thisState,orcolony,asitwasthen, hadnotbeenvisitedbyaCatholic priest.TheVeryRev.M.Gibney, V.G.,wasselected,andsailedina vesselnamedtheRosettaonJuly30, 1878.HeremainedintheNorthWestforthreemonths,goingabout visitingandtendingtothespiritual wantsofthefewpeople,andatthe sametimelookingintotheconditions oftheaborigines.Onhisreturnto Perth,FatherGibneyannouncedhis intentionofestablishinganativemission.Thisheeventuallydidin1890 atBeagleBay,underthechargeof theTrappistFathers.FatherGibneyhimselfwasmanager. a

OnhiselevationtotheEpiscopal SeeofPerth,hisLordshipBishopGibneytookforhissealtheImageofthe HolyVirgin,withthewords"Sub TuumPraesidium."Itisfittingthat itshouldbeherementionedthatin 1865hisLordshippreachedthededicationsermonofthenewCathedral oftheImmaculateConception,and that50yearslaterhecelebratedHoly MassthereinThanksgiving.

Catholiceducationreceivedits greatimpetusunderhisguidance,somuchso,thatto-daywe seetheresultsofthehardwork.From 1870onwardshisLordshiptookan activepartinfoundingeveryCatholic institution,andtheerectionofevery churchintheDioceseofPerthupto 1911,whenheretired.Someofthe statisticsatthetimeofhisLordship's resignationmaywellbegiven:TherewereintheDioceseofPerth,in 1911:31churches,1CatholicCollege,21 superiorCatholicschools,43primary schools.2orphanages,2reformatories, 1Magdalenasylum,2hospitals,and1 monastery.HisLordshipwasalsoinstrumentalinbringingtothediocese nolessthan46priests.HeintroducedtheChristianBrothersintoW.A.in 1894;theOblateFathers,in1894;the Redemptoristsin1899,andotherordersandcommunitiestoonumerousto mentionhere.

TheDivisionoftheDioceseintoThree. Sogreatwastheworkentailedin suchalargediocese,thathisLordship proposedtotheHolyFatherthatthe dioceseshouldbedividedintothree. TheHolyFatherapproved,andthe GeraldtonDiocesewasestablishedand handedovertohisLordshipBishop Kelly,withitschurchesandinstitutionscomplete.Further,theNewNorciaMissionwasmadeintoaseparate dioceseundertheLordAbbot.

AnInfamy.

TheapplicationofthePrussianmethodsofbloodandirontoIrelandis characterisedbytheDailyHeraldasaninfamy.Thestainoftheinfamy isifpossiblebecomingdeeper.

ItisnowonderthatonAugust18Mr.LloydGeorgewassilentabout Ireland.

OnthepreviousSaturdayaGovernmentcharteredsteamerarrivedin theportofDublinwithnofewerthansixmoretanks,nowfamiliarobjects inIreland,andaconsiderablenumberofmilitarywaggonsandcarsofthearmouredandunarmouredtypes.

"Whatthearrayoftanksandotherenginesofwararefor:'saidthe DailyIndependent,"isaconundrumwhichnooneseemstobeableto answer."

Wasitthedesigntocompleteduringtherecess,whennoquestionswillbe askedinParliament,theprocessofforcingtheIrishpeopleintorebellion?

AtthismomentwemayfittinglyrecallwhatFrederickLucaswrotein 1843(Life,1886,Vol.I.,p136):"Withoutprovocationtherewillbenocivil war;andifcivilwarisprovokedandforceduponIrelandwehopetoliveto seethedaywhenthe'MinisterofMassacres,'whoeverhemaybe,from whosecowardlyferocitysuchawaralonecanproceed,shallexpiatehis crimesonthescaffold."

InviewofthelargenumbersofnonCatholicsattendingthelectures,theremarksoftheArchbishopattheclose oflastweek'slecturearenQteworthy. ThislecturewasdeliveredbytheRev. FatherBoylan,SJanddealtwith theoppositiontotheChurchfrom Protestantism.FatherBoylanpointedoutthatthisoppositionaroselargelyfromthefalsetraditionofhistory whichallProtestantsobtainedfrom

thetextbookswritteninthelastcentury.Butthelecturerfurtherpointed outthatpeopleweremorecritical now-a-daysoftheaccepted"facts"of history,andinseekingthetruthfrom originalmanuscripts,gainedamuch clearerviewoftheCatholicChurch. TheArchbishopcommentedasfollows: Personally,IbelievethatatthepresenttimethevastmajorityofnonCatholicsareinperfectgoodfaithin theirrejectionoftheCatholicChurch. TheyhavebeentaughtfromchildhoodthattheChurchhasnocase,and thatthereforeitisnotworthexamining.However,IshareFatherBoylan'sconfidencethatthetideisturning.Thefictionsofnon-Catholichistoryarebeinggraduallyexposed;ina sanerframeofmindpeoplearecoiningtorealisethattheallegedshortcomingsoftheChurch,andevenits scandals,wouldmerelyprove,what everybodyadmits,thattheChurchhas averyhumanside,andthatitsPopes andclergyandpeoplehavetheirlimitationsandtheirfailures.Evennow, ofcourse,wereadverybitterattacks upontheChurchinnon-Catholicorgans.But,Ishouldliketobelieve, andIdobelieve,thattheseattacksdo notrepresentthedominantfeeliiirof non-Catholicstowardsus.Iinterpret thesebitterattackstobethedespair- ingand,Itrust,futileeffortsofthose whofeelthattheyarebeingfoundout aridthattheirfollowingisquietly slippingawayfromthem.Ifyouever killedawasp,youwillhavenoticed, perhaps,thatitneverpushedoutitsstingmorevigourouslyorviciously thanwhenitspowertostingwasabout toceaseforever.Imaybemistaken. ButIshouldliketobelievethatthese pettyexhibitionsofbadtemperinso- calledreligiousorgansarenotunlike thefutileviciousnessofthedyingwasp. NoramIwithouttangibleproofthat thereisachangeintheattitudeof non-Catholics.Imaybeinclinedto exaggerateitsextent.ButIamnot astrayregardingitsexistence.Itis quiteanexceptionformetovisitany parishinthiscityoritssuburbsfor thepurposeofadministeringtheSacramentofConfirmationinwhichIdo notfindanumberofadultconverts, whohaveputawaytheirprejudices, andsoughadmissiontotheCatholic Church.Sometimes,asIknow,they havetosubmittoagooddealofpettypersecutionfromtheirrelatives,but theyarepreparedforthat.Lastnight intheArchbishop'sprivatechapelat St.Patrick'sIadministeredConfirmationtoabout70adults,andoftheseall butafewwereconvertstotheChurch. Thatfunctionwasnotbyanymeans singular;thesamethinghappenshalf adozentimesoroftenerduringthe year.Itisclear,therefore,thatthe oppositiontotheChurchisweakening, or,atallevents,thatititnotpowerful enoughtostopthissteadystreamof convertsintotheChurch.Ipraythat thevolumeofthatstreammayincrease,thatCatholicsandnon-Catholics maybedrawnclosertogetherandunderstandeachothermoreperfectly.If theydo,therewillbemanymoreconvertstoCatholicism.
